Fresh Homemade Salsas: A World of Flavors from Italy to Mexico to California

The Joy of Salsas Across the Globe: When most of us hear the word salsa, we probably picture something red, tomato-based and perhaps fairly spicy, sitting alongside a bowl of tortilla chips. But salsa is a much bigger world than that. It can be fresh or cooked, red or green, fiery or mild, made with tomatoes, fruit, herbs, roasted vegetables or even ingredients you would never expect. Once you start thinking about fresh homemade salsas as simply combinations of good ingredients brought together to add flavor to a dish, the possibilities become almost endless.
